Fixing Your Star in Mind – Setting and Achieving Goals

This book helps you unlock your full potential, adopt new mindsets, and advance your personal development. It keeps your personal "fixed star" in sight, enabling you to set specific goals and achieve them.

Even when obstacles, tasks, and other people complicate the journey, you can use the strategies outlined in this book to overcome internal and external hurdles and reach your goals successfully.

Using the metaphor of life as a long race, where winners are recognized not at the start but at the finish, the author illustrates that success often doesn’t go to those with the greatest talents or the best circumstances, but to those with a well-thought-out and radical approach to learning and work.

You will learn how to effectively manage old thought patterns, challenges, and limiting habits on your way to personal success.

Target audience: Anyone who wants to get more out of life.
